Gao Ran was also unwilling to give all the credit for the elimination of the Montenegrin Army to Zhang Jaw and Li Dian. He agreed with Yan Liang's strategy to attack Anyi first and eliminate the 100,000 Black Mountain troops in Anyi City.

Liyang.

Yuan Xi has become a carpenter.

He made the mast of a small warship with his own hands, and with a pair of faders, he pushed the mast very smoothly.

"Ma Jun."

"Yes."

The horses came running from a distance.

Yuan Xi wiped the hot sweat, pointed to the mast on the ground, and said with a smile: "How about taking a look?" ”

"Okay."

"Is it really good or is it fake?"

"That's good."

Ma Jun gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "But the lord can command on the side, why do you have to do it yourself?" ”

"The first steam-engine warship in history is very commemorative, and wouldn't it be better for me to build the mast myself? Didn't you also make the deck and steam engine yourself? Yuan Xi walked to the shade of the tree on the side, washed his face, and complained: "This ghost weather, so hot..." ”

Da Da...

Fly in the distance and ride.

Ma Jun leaned over and said, "Don't worry, my lord, this small steam engine warship will be completed in five days." ”

"Hmm."

Yuan Xi believes that Ma Jun can do it.

The light horse ran in front of Yuan Xi: "My lord, Hanoi County is urgent!" He handed a letter to Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi opened it and looked at it.

It is clearly written: Zhang Yan of Hedong County suddenly led an army of 100,000 troops and advanced towards Banpujin, intending to cross the Luo River and plunder Xiliang. In order to ensure the source of our army's troops and not be wiped out by Li Dao and Guo Yan, the last general Yan Liang took up the army of Hanoi and started a war with Zhang Yan. I beg the Lord's permission.

"Not good!"

After reading it, Yuan Xi's eyebrows were furrowed, and he was very worried: "Zhang Yan has 200,000 troops, and Yuan Shang is behind him. Yan Liang has too few troops, and he is afraid that there will be trouble. "Put the letter away.

Yuan Xi said to Ma Jun: "The matter of building a warship will be left to you." I had to rush to Hedong County right away. ”

"Don't worry, my lord, I will complete the task..."

Ma Jun solemnly responded.

"Hmm." Yuan Xi didn't dare to hesitate to go to the back camp, rode on the four faces, and flew towards Hedong County.

The speed of the four phases can reach two hundred miles per hour, and it only takes two and a half hours to reach the front line of Hedong County under the full flight.

Noon.

The sun is scorching, and it is getting hotter and hotter.

Yuan Xi rode four different phases, passed by Anyi, the administrative office of Hedong County, and saw that tens of thousands of troops attacked Anyi City, so he quickly swooped down and joined Yan Liang and Gao Lan.

Oh!

The four disagreements suddenly came and fell in front of Yan Liang, startling Yan Liang. The soldiers behind him also involuntarily took a few steps back and made a defensive posture.

"Stop, it's the lord..." Gao Ran in the distance: "Meet the lord." ”

"The last general.... Meet the Lord. Yan Liang also reacted.

"How's the war going?" Yuan Xi asked with a calm face.

The attack on Zhang Yan's 200,000 troops was a large-scale military operation, and Yan Liang did not report it in advance, and Yuan Xi was very unhappy.

"The Lord forgives sins." Yan Liang also felt Yuan Xi's anger and explained: "Zhang Yan suddenly sent troops to cross the Luo River, and the last general was worried that he would be annihilated by Li Dao and Guo Yan, so..." ”

"Don't explain, just talk about the outcome of the war." Yuan Xi interrupted Yan Liang's words, his gaze turned to look at the battlefield in the distance.

"Yes." Yan Liang replied: "General Zhang Jaw and General Li Dian have killed Zhang Yan yesterday evening and defeated the 100,000 Black Mountain Army that went to Banpujin, and are now returning..." He recounted the events of the battle.

Yuan Xi's face changed, and he said in surprise: "You mean that Zhang Yan has been beheaded?" His 100,000 Montenegrin troops also became prisoners? ”

"Yes."

"Okay, haha..." Yuan Xi turned his worries into joy and said with a smile: "It's a good fight!" As soon as Zhang Yan died, the Black Mountain Army in Anyi City was leaderless, and they would definitely be captured by our army. ”

"Yes, my lord."

Yan Liang and Gao Ran were both smiling, and they were a little unhappy in their hearts. Because the credit for killing Zhang Yan and eliminating the 100,000 Montenegrin army was not theirs, it was difficult for the Montenegrin army in Anyi City to be eliminated.

They are doomed to not be able to accomplish meritorious deeds.

Hey?

Yuan Xi was pleasantly surprised, and suddenly reacted and said: "Since Zhang Yan's army has been wiped out, the Black Mountain Army in Anyi City has become a turtle in the urn. They don't have enough food and grass to last. Why don't you wait for the army of Zhang Jaw and Li Dian to come back and surround Anyi City. Until the Montenegrin army in the city runs out of food? Isn't that the best way to go? ”

"It's the best policy..." Gao Ran's face was ugly.

Yan Liang thought for a while, hugged his fist at Yuan Xi and said, "The last general will immediately give an order to stop the siege." When the enemy's food and grass are cut off, and the news of Zhang Yan's death spreads to the city, and then send people to persuade him to surrender, it will definitely work. ”

"Hmm."

Yuan Xi said: "That's exactly how it should be! ”

With Yuan Xi's personal supervision of the battle, Yan Liang and Gao Ran did not dare to be greedy anymore. The armies withdrew from the battlefield and lined up outside the city. It's still the same as before, guarding all the key crossings and blocking the radius of ten miles.

If the enemy wants to break through, you can still fight head-on!

days.

Zhang Jaw, Li Dian's vanguard battalion and wolf cavalry army rushed back to Anyi City one after another. The accompanying Montenegrin army took prisoners, which were 80,000. They were all confiscated, their armor stripped of their armor, and connected with ropes to prevent them from escaping.

After being stationed in the main camp.

Yuan Xi wrote a letter and handed it to Gao Lan: "Send someone to send it to the Black Mountain Army in Anyi City, and then put the heads of Zhang Yan and Zhang Baiqi into a box and send them together." ”

"No."

Gao Ran was ordered to leave.

The death of Zhang Yan and Zhang Baiqi, as well as the capture of Wang Dang, Zuo Xiao, Yu Poison and other leaders of the Montenegrin Army, meant that the high-level command system of the Montenegrin Army was completely paralyzed. The rest of Lei Gong, Li Damu, Zuo Zhangba, etc., do not have many troops in their hands, and they are all small bosses, who only obey Zhang Yan, and as soon as Zhang Yan dies, the group of dragons will be leaderless. Even if Yuan Xi didn't send someone to persuade him to surrender, it would be difficult to twist into a rope.

July of the seventh year of Jian'an.

The Black Mountain Army, which was heavily besieged, learned the news of the death of Zhang Yan and Zhang Baicai, and their fighting spirit was completely lost. In addition, there was no food and grass in the city, and the food of each battalion was halved, which caused strong dissatisfaction among the soldiers.

Yuan Xi persuaded again and again and gave generous conditions.

The various units of the Montenegrin Army headed by Lei Gong and Li Damu took the lead in going out of the city and surrendering. They only took their own troops, about 30,000 people, without carrying weapons, without wearing armor, and without welcoming Yuan Xi's army into the city.

At first, Yuan Xi was puzzled.

But when you think about it, Lei Gong and Li Damu are very righteous. They surrendered themselves, and did not force the other brothers in the city, let alone open the gates, and put their brothers in danger.

It is not easy to be able to not affect the brothers when the catastrophe is coming.

However, even the leaders are gone, and the remaining small leaders, do they still have the courage to resist?

Zuo Zhanghachi also led the troops out of the city.

In just a few days...

The 100,000 Montenegrin troops in Anyi City gave up resistance one after another and ceded Anyi City to Yuan Xi. The troops of Yan Liang, Gao Lan, Zhang Jaw, and Li Dian took advantage of the situation to enter the city and take over all the dangers.

Pacify the people and take prisoners.
